JANIS IAN: BREAKING SILENCE
1965, Janis Ian, a 14-year-old singer-songwriter from New Jersey, wrote Societys Child about an interracial relationship. Recorded and released a year later, the song launched Ian's career, but its subject matter ignited controversy, even resulting in death threats. The fallout plunged Ian into an emotional tailspinand yet a few years later she emerged from the ashes with an even bigger hit, At Seventeen. Over six decades, Janis Ian gained ten Grammy nominations in eight different categories, saw her song Stars recorded by such luminaries as Nina Simone and Cher, and overcame homophobia, misogyny, and a life-threatening illness to produce an indelible body of work that continues to draw audiences around the globe. Featuring Janis Ian, Joan Baez, Jean Smart, Arlo Guthrie, Lily Tomlin, and Tom Paxton, among other icons.
